Why would anyone be interested in a Direct Stream Digital (DSD) music format? Trying to explain the advantages of a high resolution 1-bit stream in a world of outspread Mp3 audio on one side and smugly high end audio on the other side, could become a Sisyphean task.

Why do we compare the quality of one digital source to anther? If one sounds better then the other is that important? Is high fidelity about liking or disliking a piece of equipment? I think most of us have forgotten what the goal of high fidelity is. We really need to compare our digital source to a live musical performance. In order to do that we first need to know what real music sounds like! And we know exactly what real music sounds like. That is why we have developed Audiophile Linux…

“If your computer is well tuned and you use X-Sabre DAC as an external sound card, any annoying reminders that the source is digital will vanish.” Hope you’ll enjoy the first USB DAC review on AP-Linux.

“The problem of high end audio gear connection was not considered during development of USB industry standard and therefore optimal conditions for this type of peripherals cannot be expected.” Read our review of SOtM tX-USBexp Audiophile PCIe to USB 3.0 Card.

Real Time Kernel

Bit Perfect Audio

The transport and the processing of the audio files are essential. The music travels with AP-Linux from the playback software to the external sound card (DAC) with much greater speed and efficiency. The 192 kHz sample rate is being processed with latencies between 5 to 10ms, dependent on your hardware.

It’s Easy To Use

Simple as any other Linux, Mac or Windows OS, AP-Linux transforms your PC into the ultimate music machine. Audiophile Linux distribution surpasses the standard operating systems and makes the digital music playback in “studio quality” possible. Want to try it out? Click on learn more.
